closeA Raleigh man was sentenced Thursday by a federal judge to 14 months in prison and $14,311 in restitution as part of an identity theft case.
Akorde Musediku Kehinde, 24, of Raleigh, pled guilty to conspiracy to commit access device fraud and fraudulent use of access devices. His his brother, Lukumon Abebayo Kehinde of Clinton, Md., pled guilty to aggravated identity theft, and was sentenced to 24 months in jail and restitution of $14,311.
The case goes back to June 2006, when the U.S. Postal Service received information that a vacant house in Raleigh was being used as a mail drop. The postal service's inspection unit intercepted, among other items, a Bank of America credit card statement, which led investigators to the Kehinde brothers.
